Dark Horse

Daily Draw: Paulina Tarot ~ Queen of Swords

This Queen appears cloaked in and surrounded by doomiest gloom. Her attendant creatures seem sly and sneaky and fully untrustworthy. This is me yesterday and there didn't seem to be anything I could do to shake it.

I'm reminded by this card to start earlier and work harder to prevent a duplicate of yesterday. I recognize that gloom, it comes riding the dark horse called depression.

"Out of damp and gloomy days, out of solitude, out of loveless words directed at us, conclusions grow up in us like fungus: one morning they are there, we know not how, and they gaze upon us, morose and gray. Woe to the thinker who is not the gardener but only the soil of the plants that grow in him." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche 1844-1900

This week's deck is Paulina Tarot, art by Paulina Cassidy, published 2008 U.S. Games Systems. http://www.paulina.ws/

Why Cards, you ask?

The cards open previously closed doors to my own heart with their merciless quest for the truth, nothing but the truth. They flay the soul and make me say thank you afterward.Each hour spent with my cards is a new lesson to be learned. Viva la Journey.
